Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

10.2 - Three/Four/Five
March, April, and May are the 3rd, 4th, and 5th months of the year - Read a book whose average rating is made up of the numbers 3,4, and 5 (i.e. no other number can be found in it so 3.34 is fine while 2.35 is not). (The book must have that rating when you start to read it - if the rating changes after you or other Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ members review it...i.e. if the score is higher or lower than 3.45 when you post the task it will still count.)
If you need suggestions OR have suggestions for books to read for this task post them here.

Does anyone have any suggestions for this? Or know any way to find a book with this rating? I looked at all of the books under "My Books" and none of them have this rating.

Yeah I am also having trouble with this. None of my TBR books have this rating. And when I sort them, they don't quite sort properly.

That happened to me too! It was really frustrating.

Some I found were:

Addition by Toni Jordan
Once Dead, Twice Shy by Kim Harrison
24 Girls in 7 Days by Alex Bradley
Timbuktu: A Novel by Paul Auster

I'm still looking into finding out how to find more.

When I sorted them on my TBR, I had four or five with that rating that I was really excited about. But when I clicked on the link for the book, the rating wasn't the same?

By the way, mine doesn't sort properly on the Main View, but it does on the List View.

I noticed that too. We will have to ask Cynthia. If we can't take the 3.45 from our book list view, then this might be near impossible. It would be like a hit or miss thing. What I ended up doing is going to each of my friends and sorting their lists by average review and I finally found something. But like you said, when I clicked on it to take me to the books main page, it was a 3.44 even though the other place it said it was 3.45.

Wouldn't this be easier if we read a book that had a 3 4 or 5 star rating?

Yeah. Or was any combination of 3 4 5. so it could be a 4.53 or 4.35 or 3.54 or 3.45...

I know, Jayme, unfortunately, I don't think it is about easier. In fact, the tasks this time around seem quite a bit more complex to me (no complaints). I am having trouble finding books that fit from my TBR.

As for the 3.45 - I am reading The Crowning Glory of Calla Lily Ponder: A Novel by Rebecca Wells

I just wish Cynthia could answer our questions!

She works a lot, and usually only gets on at night, and then answers questions in a huge bunch. I'm sure she'll be here soon.

I don't know how helpful it's going to be to give book ideas, because the rating could change anytime, you know? But sorting your TBR is the only way I can think of to find a book...

What I did was I clicked on the explore tab and then people. Then I clicked most active or something like that. Then I picked someone who had several thousand books and I tended to find 3.45 ratings that way. If you don't have any in your own books, that might be an easy/fast way to find this exact rating!

cool i will try that

Thank you, I found a bunch of books to choose from when I looked at someone who had 2,000 books!

NP, I was getting pretty desperate. I looked at someone with like 6,000 books. Now it just needs to stay there, or I need to start reading it so I can say it was 3.45 when I started reading it...

for some reason when I do that it doesn't show the average rating column?

Make sure to change your view to list, not main.

hmm, i'll try that and see if that works

Okay the best one i could find was 3.49 which was Left Behind.

Okay this appears to be harder than I initially imagined it would be - let me think on it today and I'll make some adjustments.

Thank you Cynthia. It is much appreciated!

Here are some I pulled from my tbr list. I didn't have that many 3.45's, but I had a bunch of 3.46's and a few 3.44's. Maybe if you allowed for +/- .02 or so it would make it easier. Here are the 3.45's:

Here are some 3.45 ratings from my shelves:

The Return Journey by Maeve Binchy
The Maytrees: A Novel by Annie Dillard
Grayson by Lynne Cox

The only one I could find from my list was .

The problem is that the ratings are constantly changing.

I agree with this. I only had 2 3.45's on my list, but had a bunch in the +/- .03 range. Also, using ratings that are a combination of those numbers would work better too.

I think my strategy is to start reading that one immediately, even if i don't continue, just to lock it in at the number I find it at. have already ordered it from the library.

That's what mine is too! The minute I can start reading it for the challenge I will be! lol

That's exactly what I was thinking!

Personally, I can't start that far ahead (I'll forget what I was reading!), but if you have a good memory, it would be a way to lock it in.

Ha - Yeah. I figure it still counts even if i just read a page or two!

Here are a few I am currently showing at 3.45:
Consequences
Spencerville
I Love You, Beth Cooper
All Fishermen Are Liars: True Adventures at Sea

For I Love You, Beth Cooper, I have the rating showing at 3.36. The others were fine.

Maybe a rating ending in 3, 4 or 5?

I like the idea of 3, 4 or 5 stars!

Or a combination of two of the numbers (3 and 4, 4 and 5, or 3 and 5) somewhere in the rating. I noticed I have several that are 3.44 or that have two of the numbers in it, just not all three and none in the right order.

I have seen a TON of 3.44's too! I wonder why that is?

I like this idea! I am having a hard time finding a book as well.

Cynthia said she would get back to us later today about possibly ammending this task. Hopefully she will!

I've adjusted the task so that the average rating just has to be made up of 3's, 4's, and 5's.

Does it have to be at the time that we read it or how about choosing it?

Yay! Thank you, Cynthia, you're the best!

When you start reading it still.

That makes it so much easier.

Kathryn wrote: "For I Love You, Beth Cooper, I have the rating showing at 3.36. The others were fine."

I think the average ratings are edition specific. Since for translated works, the specific edition/translation could make a huge difference in the quality of the individual edition, even though they are same story. This may account for Kathryn & Kay showing different ratings for the same title.

Another way to find book ratings is through the "popular" lists (most read this week/month/all time or the popular books by date) the average rating is below the title in light grey. While they only list a hundred books at a time, there may be a higher concentration of books you want to read.

Although I suspect the best method is find the members with the most books shelved and sort their "all" shelf by average rating.

Here's a few more I found that will work under the new criteria:

YES, I have been trying to fit Harry Potter #4 into the task!
